8. Maintaining your datalogger
Protect the datalogger from humidity and moisture. When humidity levels reach the dewpoint,
condensation occurs, and damage to datalogger electronics can result. Adequate desiccant
should be placed in instrumentation enclosure to provide protection, and control humidity.
Desiccant should be changed periodically.
If sending the datalogger to Campbell Scientific for calibration or repair, consult first with
Campbell Scientific. If the datalogger is malfunctioning, be prepared to perform some
troubleshooting procedures (see Tips and troubleshooting (p. 112)).

8.1 Datalogger calibration
Campbell Scientific recommends factory recalibration every three years. During calibration, all
the input terminals, peripheral and communications ports, operating system, and memory areas
are checked; and the internal battery is replaced. The datalogger is checked to ensure that all
hardware operates within published specifications before it is returned. To request recalibration
for a product, see www.campbellsci.eu/repair.
